OK, I’m cheating here, but it’s a way to sneak in a well deserved Bravo Zulu. In the Off Duty section of the Navy Times there’s a story about a retired Navy guy who’s now “making the big bucks” as a cartoonist. Seems this old sailor name of Bacon just received the Silver T-Square award from the National Cartoonist Society. I understand that’s a pretty big deal and I figured Jeff was too modest to mention it, so I’m bending the rules a little. Well done, Captain!!!!

Scott – Thanks for the shout out. I’m on my way back after the Reubens. You wouldn’t believe the benevolence the cartoonists have for our troops. All weekend long I was approached by cartoonists who wanted to do more to show their support. My blog report will be up on Wednesday. My award was an acknowledgement, I think, by the NCS that the whole organization is doing good things for our men and women in uniform. I’m just the action officer.
